Hua Lai returned to his lounge and found Jiang Heyu sitting in his seat.
When she saw Jiang Heyu, she couldn't help but think of the ridiculous scene just now, and her heart instantly filled with anger.
She asked politely: "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Heyu quickly stood up and returned the seat to her, looking at her with a meaningful smile: "You were in a hurry just now and forgot to pick up the script. I will bring it to you."
He said and handed over the script.
Hua Lai took it casually: "Thank you, close the door when you go out."
Jiang Heyu not only did not go out, but sat down on the sofa: "I am your agent, I have to be with you all the time."
Hua Lai picked up her bag: "Then I'm off work. Mr. Jiang can help himself."
Jiang Heyu stopped her: "There is a bureau on Thursday night. I will introduce you to the director and other staff this time."
Hua Lai stopped.
As a "domestic newcomer", she had no right not to participate in such an entertainment, otherwise she would be really showing off as a big star.
"I understand, what else are you saying?"
Jiang Heyu: "I will pick you up when the time comes, and we will go together."
Hua Lai looked at him impatiently: "You are my agent, not my assistant. If you accept this kind of thing from me, I won't bother you anymore."
Jiang Heyu: "I'm happy. I'll have someone send you clothes on Wednesday."
Hua Lai was confused: "What clothes should I give?"
Jiang Heyu: "The dress for the banquet."
Hua Lai: "Is this necessary?"
Jiang Heyu smiled and said: "Of course! This is your first time meeting everyone, and you are the heroine this time, so naturally you have to be more formal."
Hua Lai didn't want to talk nonsense with her and said lazily: "I know."
She took the script and walked out the door.
The script is quite interesting. It tells the story of how a housewife becomes self-reliant after a divorce, and finally achieves both love and career success. Hua Lai read the entire book from the afternoon until midnight, and had a preliminary grasp of the characters. Just when she was gathering her emotions
When I was getting ready to go to bed, I heard some noises downstairs, so I opened the door and came out.
Sure enough, Xu Xingshu is back.
Since the money from Jiang He was received, Xu Xingshu was so busy that he didn't go home for many days.
Today he fell asleep due to exhaustion in the office. He woke up at this time. After thinking about it, he decided to go home and bring some change of clothes.
As soon as he gently closed the door to the twins' room, he saw Hua Lai coming down the stairs.
"Xiao Lai, haven't you slept yet?"
Hua Lai saw the tired look on his face and was really worried about her: "Pay attention to your health. We haven't seen you for just a few days and you are so thin that your eye sockets are coming out."
Xu Xingshu smiled: "I did give up on myself some time ago. Now that I have the opportunity to start over, I need to eat more snacks. So many people are pointing at me to eat."
Hua Lai: "There's no need to rush. There are so many people in the company, so there's no need to do everything by ourselves."
Xu Xingshu sighed, and the two sat down on the sofa.
"I'm scared and don't dare to trust others easily. It doesn't matter if I do more by myself. When I get on the right track this time, I will slowly hand over the work in hand and spend time with my two children."
Hua Lai: "It's just that when Ni Ni sees you like this, she will hide in bed and cry again. They are sensible and feel sorry for you. If you can't make enough money, you should spend more time with them."
Xu Xingshu: "You still said that I am not like this. What happened this time, Xiao Lai, I..."
Hua Lai: "Stop talking, he didn't do anything to me. He just went to work in his company. He did it everywhere. I had no influence."
Xu Xingshu: "I pushed you to his side. I know that you don't want to face him face to face at all..."
Hua Lai: "Don't mention this matter anymore. Even if I don't go to his company, he will still appear in front of me from time to time. You don't have to blame yourself. He still respects me now. I'll do a few more
The year is over and I’ll do something else then.”
Xu Xingshu nodded: "I heard that Cen Jing'er has some other feelings for him. You are in the same company now. She didn't embarrass you, right?"
Hua Lai said in a relaxed tone: "What kind of embarrassment can she give me? Besides, I can still be afraid of her."
Xu Xingshu: "How is the new job? How are you getting along with everyone?"
Hua Lai: "It's pretty good. I picked up a drama today and will meet with the screenwriter tomorrow. I expect to join the cast next month. But it's very convenient to film locally."
Xu Xingshu: "I know you have no problem with this. If Jiang Heyu really bullies you, tell me that I don't want his money. I, Xu Xingshu, still have some wealth. I can afford to compensate and I can afford to lose."
Hua Lai looked at Xu Xingshu and smiled gratefully. The feelings between them could no longer be measured by anything.
She nodded: "Well, go to bed quickly. The children will miss you every day. Let's have breakfast together tomorrow morning."
Xu Xingshu stood up: "Well, you should go to bed early."

The next day Hua Lai knocked on the door of Zhong Qianqian's residence at the agreed time.
When Zhong Qianqian came to open the door, Hua Lai was a little stunned.
She felt that the lazy-looking woman in front of her looked familiar.
Zhong Qianqian, wearing glasses and a large knitted jacket, politely greeted Hua Lai: "Hello, Miss Xu."
Hua Lai came back to her senses: "Hello, Teacher He."
Zhong Qianqian invited her in: "Sorry, I need you to come to me in person. What do you want to drink?"
Hua Lai looked at the house: "Thank you, just water."
The house is quite large, with just one room, bedroom, office area, leisure area, and kitchen, all at a glance, it looks like one person lives alone.
Zhong Qianqian got her a bottle of mineral water: "I'm working on a manuscript and don't like to go out, so I'm sorry to bother you to make this trip."
Hua Lai apologized: "I didn't bother you."
Zhong Qianqian took off her glasses and put them on the coffee table, pinched the corners of her eyes and the bridge of her nose: "No, it was just finished. I heard that Miss Xu has a daughter, and she is taking care of it herself?"
Facing Zhong Qianqian, Hua Lai was inexplicably nervous. It was as if... she acted in her play and her life was arranged by her.
Or maybe this is Zhong Qianqian's home court, and her calmness and relaxation only highlight Hua Lai's embarrassment.
Hua Lai nodded: "She is five years old. My mother and nanny take more care of her, but because of my work, they have less control."
Zhong Qianqian: "The heroine this time is divorced and takes care of her children alone to become a butterfly... I'm sorry, I used the word 'just', I hope I didn't offend you."
Hua Lai: "No, my situation is almost the same."
The two chatted for an hour about the script. Finally, Hua Lai stood up and said, "Teacher He, I'm sorry to bother you, but thank you for your answer."
Zhong Qianqian smiled and said: "We will be considered colleagues from now on, and we will meet in many places. Don't be so polite."
After this hour of role discussion, Hua Lai has slowly let go of the tension and become more relaxed.
Hua Lai: "Okay, let's make an appointment next time."
Hua Lai felt that Zhong Qianqian was quite mysterious. She had checked her information before, but found nothing except her works. There was no record of where she was even on the Internet. Chatting with her,
There is also an inexplicable sense of intimacy. The characters in her novels always make Hua Lai Hua Lai feel that this is the author's life experience.
But there is not a single photo of her children in her sweeping view of her home. This chapter has been completed!
